In organic chemistry, atoms other than carbon and hydrogen are generally referred to as heteroatoms. The most common heteroatoms are nitrogen, oxygen and sulfur. Now I present to you an article called Pheromone synthesis. Part 259: Synthesis of seven methyl-branched hydrocarbons as the pheromone candidates for female Korean apricot wasp, Eurytoma maslovskii, published in 2016-07-28, which mentions a compound: 616-14-8, mainly applied to pheromone synthesis Korean apricot wasp branched hydrocarbon, Synthetic Route of C5H11I.
Seven new methyl-branched hydrocarbons were synthesized, which were the pheromone candidates of the female Korean apricot wasp (Eurytoma maslovskii). They are (Z)-15-methyl-7-nonacosene (I), (Z)-17-methyl-7-hentriacontene (II), 3,7-dimethylheptacosane (III), 8,12-dimethyltriacontane (IV), 8,18-dimethyltriacontane (V), 3,7,11-trimethylnonacosane (VI), and 3,7,17-trimethylnonacosane (VII). All of them were synthesized as stereoisomeric mixtures, employing short and simple routes. Hydrocarbon VII was synthesized via 4,8-dimethyldecanal (tribolure), the red flour beetle pheromone. The hydrocarbons I, II, III and VI were identified by GC-MS anal. as the components (with unknown stereochem.) of the female-specific secretion of E. maslovskii.
There is still a lot of research devoted to this compound(SMILES:CCC(CI)C)Synthetic Route of C5H11I, and with the development of science, more effects of this compound(616-14-8) can be discovered.
